FPT IS successfully deploys Cisco ACI for VIB

FPT IS and Vietnam International Commercial Joint Stock Bank (VIB) held a closing ceremony of the project entitled "Upgrading VIB-2016 Data Center Network Infrastructure". This is the first project to deploy the latest technology of Cisco ACI for a bank in Vietnam.

The project was deployed since November 2016 in order to upgrade and replace 6500 core switch of Data Center and Disaster Recovery for VIB with the new Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) in order to improve data transfer speed among servers, apps.

VIB is the pioneer in applying the latest Cisco ACI innovations for both DC and DR.

The successful project has made considerable change to VIB's data center network infrastructure. Earlier, it took 14 to 15 hours to back up data. At present, it was increased to only 4-5 hours. The system also helps with automatic data processing outside working hours so that they can recover data timely once troubles happen.

According to Vu Si Thang in charge of the project of VIB, this is a strategic and key project of VIB. Therefore, they are very cautious in choosing partner. "We know that FPT IS is a giant that has successfully implemented many projects and gets strong support from Cisco. We decided to cooperate with FPT IS after careful consideration," Thang said.
